Daciana's POV It's been two months since the banquet and everything has been relatively peaceful.The King and Queen have not brought up the issue of finding another wife for Logan as they haven't seen another candidate that they think is worthy enough to enter the royal family.Halsey had asked me for help with choosing a dress for her highschool dance. It took us an hour plus to finally settle on a dress.I walked through the hallway, as I made my way back to my quarters but suddenly saw something shocking.Are my eyes playing a trick on me?I cleaned my eyes with a handkerchief and saw that I wasn't hallucinating, they were right in front of me.I slowly walked towards them, trying to be as quiet as possible.Sasha had her hands wrapped around the man's neck and they were embracing. I couldn't see the man's face and I strained my neck to get a better view.He definitely wasn't Prince Karl, so who was he?I was too busy trying to see who the man was and accidentally bumped into the
Daciana's POV "That’s a lie.” I said as my eyes darkened with fury.They have really gone too far this time, I Won't let them ruin my reputation."I swear on my honor, I saw it with my own eyes.” Celeste said with her hand placed on her chest."Be careful with your words, Celeste.” Logan stepped forward, his voice dangerously low."There is only one way to settle this. Search everyone.” The Queen shook her head in disappointment.Gasps filled the air."My Queen,surely there is no need…” One of the noble Lord's protested.The Queen held up her hand before he could finish his sentence."I will not have a thief in my palace.” she said with a commanding tone.The guards immediately began searching the guests, starting from the lower-ranking nobles and working their way up.When it got to my turn, the Queen's personal guard, who had bumped into me earlier walked over.“May I?” He asked with a courteous voice.What's with the attitude, were they expecting me to throw a tantrum?"I have n
Logan's POV I made sure I had plans in place for any form of scheme before coming to the banquet.My parents couldn't be trusted and they are always looking for ways to embarrass me at such events.As soon as I arrived with Daciana, I looked at the luxurious decorations.Golden chandeliers illuminated the banquet hall, and the scent of roses and fine wine filled the air.Nobles from across the kingdom were gathered, dressed in their finest silks and jewels, offering lavish gifts to my mother.My mother was smiling so and being as pretentious as always.Daciana stood beside me with an unreadable expression as she watched my mother bask in the attention. Every move, every glance, felt like a calculated performance.“She is such an actress” she whispered to me.“My thoughts exactly” I said and she chuckled.I was about to lead her to a quiet place when Celeste walked over to us with her father.“Prince Logan, it's been quite a while since we last met” Her father said with a smile while e
Sasha's POV I slowly opened my eyes and saw Karl’s handsome face at the other end of the king size bed.He always makes sure to keep his distance from me even when he sleeps.I slowly moved closer to his side, so I could admire him up close but as soon as I touched his face, he suddenly opened his eyes and frowned.“I told you not to have any thoughts about me” he said as he forcefully pushed me away.I fell heavily on the floor and felt a sharp pain in my back.“It seems like you have forgotten why I married you in the first place” he said while glaring at me, not caring if I was in pain or not.I slowly tried to get up from the floor, using the bedside table as a support but unfortunately for me, the photo frame on it fell and the glass broke.I stared at the broken frame in horror, I couldn't even summon the courage to look at Karl's face.“How dare you?” He roared angrily.He jumped off the bed and picked up the broken frame without being careful. The glass cut his hands but he s
Daciana's POV "That’s refreshing to hear," the king said, taking a sip of his wine.He looked at Logan with a smile before looking at me and he could barely hide his disgust."Obedience is a virtue in a future ruler. It’s also important for a future queen." His gaze flickered toward Celeste.I sneered in my mind as I knew what he was driving at."Then I suppose I'm failing in that department. I was never good at being what people expected.” I let out a dramatic sigh and picked at my food. “Not everyone is privileged to be raised with all the proper etiquettes and knowledge” The Queen said while taking a sip of her wine.She was openly calling me a country bumpkin, who knew nothing about etiquettes."That’s understandable. The life of a royal isn’t for everyone. It requires sacrifice, discipline... and knowing when to let go of things that don’t work.” Celeste tilted her head, feigning innocence.I continued eating, completely ignoring her and her face darkened in anger."Perhaps, Da
Daciana's POV I felt so happy when I heard that everything went as planned.Who could have thought that a man, who seems as caring as the King would have such an evil heart.“I just received a message from my father, and he wants us to come to the main chamber for a family dinner” Logan informed me as I rested my head on his chest.“So, we are going to put on an act for them right?” I asked with a chuckle.“Of course, we can't disappoint them,” He replied with a smile.We remained in bed until 5:30 PM, then we got ready for dinner.I chose a royal blue off shoulder gown, it was not too tight and showed the right amount of curves.“What do you think?” I asked Logan, who was done getting ready.“You look beautiful in anything my love” he said with a smile.I packed my hair in a neat bun and added a blue hair clip.Knock knock!There was a sudden knock on the door and Logan went to open it.“Hey bro” I heard Martin's voice as soon as the door was opened.I walked over to them and saw th
